I like the move, caldwell never seemed to know what he was doing. Hopefullly we can get Steve Spagnoulo as a defensive coordinator, we need a big change on defense and think he can make us more aggressive

wow. Thats a little surprising… I dont understand as to why they would let him go. Yes the colts had a bad year and all but you camt blame it all on jim. Part of it has to do with the whole team not working to thier best of thier abilitites because payton was hurt…. But this might be a good thing thing since the team needs to start over with new people even though i dont want a replacement for manning.

I figured that this was coming and he was great behind Dungy but not so great as a head coah. The Colts have slowly been regressing since he took the head coaching spot. But I did like the character he and Dungy brought to the team and hope they replace him with someone who has as much.

I’d like to remind them that he coached an almost undefeated team a few years ago and got us to our second Super Bowl. If anyone should be blamed its Curtis painter. Yes coach Caldwell had a terrible season but don’t scape goat him.

About time! He was given a super bowl team and look what has happened since then. Steady down hill. He is a nice guy but no head coach. Now I feel the Irsay is serious about this being a championship team again.

I know Tony don’t want to come back but I would not want him. He cost the Colts at least 1 superbowl with stupid decision he made.

Wouldn’t Cower be a good catch… You know Peyton will be back… Colts are keeping alot disclosed and rumors are flying.. Luck will be ready to take the ship after being mentor for 3 yrs. Can you say Steve Young or Aaron Rodgers

Manning has time and again proven he’s one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. How many games have we watched where he effortlessly drove down the field at the end of the game to win it. Draft Luck, keep Manning on the field for friendly transition. If Manning is healthy, I’d put him on the field any day.

I agree with Houseman. And if Luck wont do it, then get Griffin to do it. A couple years learning from Peyton will help out anybody and mold one of those two great QBs into professional championship material.
Aaron Rodgers, Steve Young, only a couple of examples of learning from a legend to make yourself one of the greatest.

The 1 and only reason Caldwell reached the Super Bowl was because he was working with a team built by Dungy and Bill Polian. Yes…he was a great guy, but he did nothing but make coaching errors while holding the reins. Great decision by new management. Now, go get Cower to give up his analyst job and win us another championship!

This is a great move. Im so glad he is gone. During games all you would see him do is stand there with that dumb look on his face. They have been going downhill since tony dungy left. I say they should keep manning draft luck and get better defensive players. They have had a crappy defense for far too long. You got freeney and mathis thats about it. Probably should get a new runningback too. Thats just my opinion though.

I think it’s time to say that we have probably saw Manning’s last pass in NFL… I mean honestly 3 neck surgeries stem-cell done on his neck too, also if he gets hit wrong or in the right spot he can be paralyzed … trust me I want him back as bad as anyone else and i hope he does come back so luck and sit, watch and learn from one of greats… if he does come bak though I give him 2-4 years before hes done

Well why are you blaming Jim for this Mr. Irsay? Your team was built around Peyton Manning!! It is not Jim’s fault this team was built even before caldwell was the coach. Whats next getting rid of Peyton Manning? We have one bad season and yout not making any money so lets clean house!!

I am appalled at the firing of Coach Caldwell. Every team at some point will have a bad year. You have to at least give the coach a chance to turn it around during the off season. This is a decision I TOTALLY disagree with.

I understand there is a great possibility that Peyton may not be able to come back. I still hope that he can though. I don’t want his career to end that way and I want him to get another super bowl. If he can come back I’m just not sure Luck will want to sit and learn from him, so maybe they should get Griffin in that case. Either way it can’t be worse then this season. I wonder who’s idea it was to bring in Kerry Collins. I thought that was a horrible decision they made there. Then someone blamed the season on Curtis Painter, we all knew he wasnt that good. There are many reasons for the bad season. Im just ready for the next one and hope were back to kicking ass and takin names!

People I think should be the coach or considered, Bill Cowher, Jon Gruden would be sweet but think he has a monday night football deal. Mike Zimmer from Cincy maybe would be nice. They had a great year defensively.

Kayla
I totally agree with you it would be so crappy if that was Peyton’s last year. I kind of disagree with you about Luck not wanting to wait I mean he was taught by a great coach Jim Harbaugh who teaches patience. If anything I hope he takes it has a opportunity to learn and understand the game on a whole different level. Personally I thought we should of started Orlovsky he played way better in the pre-season then Painter did all season. I think we need a defensive head coach or at least a coach with a defensive background. If we got Mike Zimmer that would be freaking insane

Zak i hope that luck would want to sit and learn. Its just from everything i have heard he wont want to. I totally agree that we need a defensive minded coach. I know zimmer interviewed with miami hopefully we interview him too.

MOE and others: Boy when Manning was giving his all for the COLTS, I am sure you were there wanting more of what only he could do. Now, he is having health problems and you and others want to quickly say “ditch him”. Either you are a nobody that is a user of people or you are just a real selfish individual to “I only want what I want and to heck with who has to get it for me and regardless of the price someone else may pay”. You and others should be thankful for the fine young man that made football for Indianapolis and all America enjoyable and wish and pray for his health so more good years can come.

I figured Caldwell would get the axe after the season the Colts had.
I think Gruden or Cowher would be a good choice as coach, but I think that is wishful thinking.
I think that the colts should keep Manning to mentor Luck if he is healthy to play, if he isn’t I would like to see
the Colts bring him back as the head coach or the offenssive coach.

It’s about damn time! He blew the super bowl that he was on the sidelines for instead of coaching on the sidelines.My personal opinon,should have hired FISHER when he was available long time ago.Might as well let 18 play and then coach,after he hangs those cleats up!!!

Kayla
you cant go by what everyone is saying. You have to go by what his coaches taught him. I really do hope we get him though he would contribute alot of talent and give Indy and extra edge… However Im not say throw Manning under the bus. He gave the colts a name and put us on the map of great teams in football, but it comes to the point where it isnt so much about letting Manning play its about is he HEALTHY enough to play.

And also for everyone saying we shouldnt of let him Jim Caldwell go.. his record after three years was 28-24. Not trying to be mean but the team he took to the super bowl wasnt his team it was the team TONY made from the year before… Caldwell is a amazing guy one of kind but we need a coach that is goin to put us in the best situation to win

This should have happened a long time ago. I wasn’t happy when he took over for tony. Caldwell only inherited a good team, he had no coaching ability and seeing that the team has gotten worse under his watch it was a good move. The team needs to make a big name hire for a defensive coach and look to the future. Sorry people but our times of Manning being the team are over, get something for him while we still can and help Luck out more when he gets to Indy.

I really hope we get Luck too. I hope your right about him and what he was taught. I honestly don’t follow college football too much just when it gets close to draft time so you probably know more about that then me. As far as throwing Manning under the bus, I don’t think I have really read anything where anyone has done that. I think all fans would love to see him come back. Like you said though its all about if he is healthy enough. Im sure he is doing everything he can to try to get there so just have to wait and see how it goes. I will always be a big fan of his. He is amazing at what he does and will wuck if he can’t come back but his health has to come first.

that was supposed to say suck if he cant come back. As far as people saying we shouldn’t have let Caldwell go, I totally agree. He’s a great person but I don’t think he is head coach material. He made many mistakes. If people paid attention they would know this. His time management for one was a big one if you ask me. I just want them to get someone who can take the team all the way and I think thats what they are trying to do. People also have to realize its a business and if your not getting the job done this is what happens. Its just part of football and any job really. I know they didn’t have Manning but they were capable of winning more games this year.

I believe Mr. Irsay did the right thing by firing Caldwell. I can understand the offense can’t score because Peyton Manning didn’t play, but there is NO excuse for the defense allowing the opposing teams to average 30+ points against us. It’s embarrassing…
The next right move is to KEEP Peyton Manning. I can’t imagine any team would let a QB of Peyton Manning caliber go. Peyton is the best thing that ever happen to the Colts. I have been an NFL fan since I was 7 and never seen a QB control a team at the line of scrimmage like Peyton. There are lots of great QB, but not like Peyton. Great QB are mostly credited for their accuracy which lead them to have high QB rating. Peyton not only has that talent but also is very smart. He can read the defense like no QB can. Any defensive players whom played against Peyton would say that he keeps them on their toes and are exhausted by half time with his no huddle offense. Not only he can execute and knows all the plays in the playbook, he knows when to audible to confuse the defense.
It would be a BIG mistake if the Colts let Peyton go if he is 100% healthy to play. Everyone talk about Andrew Luck. He has yet taken a snap in the NFL. College Football is not anything like the NFL. Let me remind everyone of Ryan Leaf. He was the big talk before the draft. They said he is better then Peyton. We all know now that Leaf is not worthy to play in the NFL. Let’s NOT gamble with Luck. Let’s NOT even think about trading or cut Peyton Manning. Keep him if he can play, hire him to be our next head coach if he decides to retire. He knows the game more then most head coaches in the league.

Irsay,
You fire a coach that was here most of the time during all the winning seasons. That You picked to be Head coach. And now You have no idea who will run this team. At the rate Your going. 2-14 might look good next season.

Lets make this simple. From a Colts fan in N.J. Keep Peyton! I wasn’t really a big fan Of Caldwell. But would have made sure there was a coach to hire before I fire the one I have. A def. minded coach would be great. I would be beging Dungy to come out of retirement if I were You right now. And draft a good Strong safty. There has got to be another Bob Sanders out there somewhere.

I wish for 2012 that the keep Manning and hire Tony back for the head coach…yes the colts had a bad season…it just goes to show that they need Manning to continue their wins. I will always be a Colt Fan no matter what, but I will follow Manning’s team where ever he goes.

PLEASE KEEP PEYTON MANNING AT THE COLTS – LUCAS OIL STADIUM AND WE WILL HAVE A BETTER YEAR FOR 2012….
